Weekly classes centrally located for those coming from East Vail to Edwards to Eagle...

Meditation Vail offers a weekly Tuesday night class. This class is for a range of people including: those brand new to the practice of mindfulness, those re-connecting with a meditation practice and those with a seasoned practice who wish to delve more deeply into their practice or are open to a shift in perspective.

The meeting lasts about 90 minutes and is a series-based class, featuring in-depth study of a topic over the course of several weeks. If you are new to this class, and we are in the middle of a topic, join us and we'll quickly get you up to speed.

There are no prerequisites for the class; everyone is welcome regardless of their background or experience. Our goal is to share authentic mindfulness practice in a way that is both joyful and available to all, and fosters rational living with peace, joy, compassion and happiness.

Vail Meditation Retreats

Meditation Vail offers retreats during the month. Our weekend retreats are held in one of our Colorado communities and are a combination of in-depth teaching and experiential practice. One-day retreats are also held in Vail.

We also offer four different longer-length retreats of either ten or thirty days. We provide facilities for individual to complete solo meditation practice retreats. Many of the retreats take place at our meditation center, located midway between Tampa and Sarasota, Florida (about 30 minutes each way). The center can accommodate some 70 people, has one of the country's largest libraries on mindfulness and insight, lovely grounds (with a turtle and duck pond) and a pool.

A Practical Approach to Meditation

Meditation Vail offers clear instruction and guidance in rational mindfulness through weekly classes and monthly weekend retreats. Personal one-on-one instruction and coaching is also available. Our teachers are experienced meditators with many years of study and practice. They approach the teaching of meditation from the perspective of a Western cultural background engaged in modern daily life.

There are no prerequisites for classes or retreats; everyone is welcome regardless of their background or experience. Our goal is to share authentic mindfulness meditation teaching in a way that is both joyful and affordable.

Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation

The essential skill that leads to a happy and peaceful life is mindfulness.

Learning to meditate is learning to be mindfully present and to let go of stressful thoughts, emotions and feelings. The benefits of this are powerful and impactful in all aspects of life. Mindfulness practice helps to reduce anxiety and stress within the family, in personal relationships, in professional settings and even in leisure activities.

Many find the benefits of mindfulness so rewarding with regard to decreased anxiety and stress, that they naturally want the experience to be shared in their office setting. In addition to our weekly classes, we offer corporate wellness training and containing education credits at your office or workplace.

In mindfulness meditation, we become familiar with the internal landscape. Through the experienced recognition of constant change we learn to enjoy each newly arising moment deeply, without craving and clinging. In this way our life emerges more joyful, happier, more peaceful.

We look forward to seeing you in class or bringing mindfulness to you.
